The past several days most of the boats are fishing salmon and having some reasonable success. We had two trips yesterday and caught two in the morning and had at least two more on that we lost. The afternoon trip we caught a good size three year old and had another on.

Had some major storms go through this area last night. The first one just missed us to the North. We had a bunch of us sitting on the boat waiting for it to hit. Nothing like a storm while sitting on the boat at the slip.

Lake trout fishing is still strong with regular limit catches. The fish we are catching are the new lake trout and most people prefer this fish for table fare.

I did troll straight spoons for about an hour a couple days ago with no luck on any silver like fish. Other captains have had the same outcome.

My phone is ringing so why not give us a call and get on our calendar.

Put the boat in the water on Wed. not without a few hitches. We had a some minor fixes before we let

off the trailer. Here is picture of her in the barn just prior to launch. The hull has been cleaned and waxed, the bottom painted and everything made secure before we travled.

It seems like every spring the cleaning part gets longer and longer. Trying to get items organized and the inside and topside ready has already taken a lot of man hours. I probably have at least another day before I am done and Memorial day is coming quick.

DNR boat inspection is scheduled for Thursday so I have to make sure all the safety equipment is in working order and all current paper work is available. We have done a bunch of these inspections so we are usually ready.

Aaron’s younger brother Drew is my new deckhand. Took him fishing Saturday along with my neighbor Dave and caught some lake trout for dinner. We have heard of a couple salmon being caught.

The river is full of alewifes. I have not seen this many in a lot of years. Maybe with this food being around the salmon will show and stay. I have my fingers crossed
